Bad Panda: Bad Panda, Book 1

Written by Swapna Haddow

Narrated by Charlie Sanderson

Are you sick of being utterly adorable? Tired of being cuddled and hugged? Fed up of having your head confused for your bottom because you just so happen to be SOOOOPER-DOOOOOPER fluffy?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you're in the right book.
Everyone thinks that Lin is the cutest panda in the world. So much so that they ship her off to the local zoo, away from her beloved brother, to be ogled at by the masses. But Lin HATES being cute, and now she will do everything in her power to prove that she's the baddest, meanest, most un-cute animal in the zoo.
Laugh-yourself-out-of-bed hilarious, the first in a new series from the creators of DAVE PIGEON.
“Misunderstandings, slapstick, and giant poo...what more could a young reader want?” -- Kirkus
“Silliness aplenty in this uproarious beginning to a potentially addictive new series.” -- Guardian
